考点:不同的合并方法下equity的对比
解析:题干说T公司要用JV,这种方法下,既可以用equity method, 也可以用proportionate consolidation, 所以这道题其实是在考你,对比equity method和proportionate consolidation的equity, 在这2种方法下,equity是一样的,即都是母公司本身的equity。
题目问题英文感觉不是很懂,equity method不是不影响母公司的equity吗,consolidation method会并表,所以影响母公司equity,那不就是使用consolidation method的母公司equity更高吗?
